I've got cotton yarn and needles and I'm ready to knit my first sock. Except that I'm kinda overwhelmed by the choice available, so could you recommend a good beginner's pattern?

I've only one circular needle, but on the other hand, I actually like double-pointed needles (actually I like them better :D).

That's the pattern I used to knit my first socks. And the next pair, and the pair after that.

I also love dpns, and I found it easier at first to read instructions for knitting socks on dpns than ones for two circs. Now that I have the hang of sock construction, I can read patterns for 2 circs and translate them in my head.
